We tested how easy it was to get each folding camping chair into its carry bag, if it came with one, and how easy they were to carry. A small army of testers each tried every single camping chair, rating them for how comfortable they were to sit in, how stable they felt, and how easy they were to get in and out of.

Padded chairs These can take longer to dry. While they can be more comfortable, the padding acts a bit like a sponge and could stay wet for several hours. Make sure they can go under some cover in a heavy downpour. We bought every camping chair we tested and our comfort testers each tried out every single seat. Comfort and stability At T3 we place a high value on the authenticity of the product advice we offer, and each of the camping chairs featured here has been extensively field tested by our outdoor-expert reviewers. The chairs have been taken out on camping trips and various al fresco adventures, and put through their paces on a variety of terrain types, to assess how easy they are to transport and put up. Each has then been tested against a set of criteria, including design, features, functionality, stability, build, material quality and robustness.
